Fort Dummer State Park in Brattleboro, VT, is a lovely state park to camp or hike in. I usually go there in the off season when it is closed to the public. Thus, I often go for a hike or jog free of charge.
I always thought it closed for the season on labor day weekend. It actually closed for the season this year on October 14, right after the three-day weekend which had included Indigenous People's Day.
When I went there it was a lovely fall day with mild temperatures and colorful foliage making it perfect conditions for plein air painting. There is a convenient picnic table(actually several) placed in this open field which I paint from.
This is a study I painted before painting my actual watercolor. It ended up turning out better than my larger piece. This was painted fast and my colors blended on the paper yet kept a good degree of saturation which reminded of my experience that day.
